5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction
Reviewed in the United States on 31 October 2015
Verified Purchase
This is a very thorough and readable introduction to Java.

I had to buy it for a class, and I was able to get a used copy (in excellent condition) for just fifteen dollars. That's a bargain!

Highly recommended for anyone wanting to dive into learning Java.

I care about the quality of paper in my books, and this one has those thin, but durable pages. They are ideal. It turns easily, and packs a lot of pages into less physical space.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book For Learning Java
Reviewed in the United States on 21 July 2011

Seeing as most of the reviews are from some older revision I thought I'd post one, I just bought the latest edition and this is a great book! The author is amazing and explaining and the programming exercises in this book are actually fun and useful programs. Great book if you are new to programming and want to learn java, or if you know another language and want to learn java you can just read the summary of each chapter to get the just of the information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beginner Java Text
Reviewed in the United States on 7 January 2014
Verified Purchase
This is a good beginner text. It's written with enough interesting projects to make self-study from this book entertaining, and was detailed enough in theory to help cement ideas from lectures (if using this book as part of a class). I've worked with a number of entry-level Java textbooks, and this is, truly, one of my favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved lots of money.
Reviewed in the United States on 12 June 2013
Verified Purchase
Needed the book for an intro to java programming class. Buying this was saved over 50% of what the college book store wanted and used wasn't much cheaper than new. Very happy with the purchase, I have had no issues with the book or class. The book seems to be a very good book and I am learning quickly with it.

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst programming books I've ever seen - and I have quite a library of them!
Reviewed in the United States on 3 February 2015
Verified Purchase
This is one of the worst programming books I have ever laid eyes on. It's absolutely impossible the just sit down and read a chapter. It jumps all over the place and has sidebar garbage that chops up the text and distracts, and the whole thing is a total nightmare. Even when it comes to just trying to recall something I learned in class, it's nearly impossible to just find a quick refresh in the book. I ended up having to buy a "dummies" book and that's what I'm using to actually learn the material I'm supposed to learn for my class! I would definitely not recommend this book to someone who is trying to teach themselves programming, and if you have to use it for a class and are not already very familiar with the subject matter, pick up a book that you can use on the side to actually learn from!
